She was a member of Christ United Methodist Church and was retired from the University of Memphis and Perkins Restaurant accounting departments. She loved family and the Arkansas Razorbacks, was a woman of dignity who found great joy in small things, and was fiercely independent despite near complete blindness. She was our champion and our hero. A memorial service will be held Thursday, June 18th at 1 p.m. at the Trezevent Manor Chapel, 177 N.
